2 ASSEMBLE IN GOD S NAME ANNOUNCEMENTS MINUTE FOR MISSION Henry Meeuwse Remember Niger Coalition PRELUDE Fugue Friedrich Zachau INTROIT CALL TO WORSHIP Rejoice with me, people of God. God has gathered us in from the wilderness. Rejoice with me, people of God. God has swept away the darkness of the night. Rejoice with me, people of God. Today, there is joy in the presence of angels. Come, let us worship God. *HYMN 12 Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise ST. DENIO CONFESSION O Lord, forgive Your foolish people. We are skilled in doing evil, but we do not know how to do good. In the folly of our hearts we live as though there is no God. We forget all You have done for us, and make false idols to be our gods. We act faithlessly, violently, and scorn Your name. Forgive us of our sins. By Your grace, create in us pure and clean hearts. For we pray in Jesus name. ASSURANCE OF PARDON II Corinthians 5:18-20 *GLORIA PATRI 581 GLORIA BAPTISM (8:30AM SERVICE) QUESTION TO THE CHURCH Matt Carter Do you, the members of this congregation, in the name of the whole church of Christ, undertake with Bob & Morgan the Christian nurture of Willa, so that in due time she may confess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? If yes, please signify so by standing. PRAYER UNISON Father, pour out Your Spirit on us, that we may participate again in Your baptism. May all who pass through these waters be delivered from death to life, from bondage to freedom, from sin to righteousness. To You be praise, honor, and glory; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who, with You and the Holy Spirit, reigns forever. Amen. Wilson Courtney Tremayne Born on April 7, 2016 Daughter of Bob & Morgan Tremayne and Sister to Jackson Tremayne
